Chapter 107 Huangfu Song burned the Changshe and the thief Bo was defeated
Just when Liu Bei led Lu Bu and others to fight in Youzhou and Qingzhou, the three-way army sent by the imperial court had already fought with the Yellow Turban Army.
Lu Zhiling's deputy general Zongyuan led the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force; After crossing Hanoi, he went directly to Qi County, and met a Yellow Turban main force led by Bu Si in Qi County, and the two sides fought outside Qi County.
Because the number of Yellow Turbans led by Bu Si was equivalent to the number of elites of the Han Dynasty led by Lu Zhi, and the combat power was much different, Lu Zhi won the battle, and Bu Si led the remaining remnants of the Yellow Turbans to flee all the way west into Puyang.
Lu Zhi originally planned to continue to pursue the victory, but because Tanmalai reported that Zhang Jiao was extremely powerful in Julu County and had led more than 300,000 people, Lu Zhi had no choice but to continue to march north to Julu County. Eventually, Lu Zhi arrived in Julu County in April 184 through Wei County.
……………………
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led 40,000 troops. Leaving Luoyang in the west, it arrived in Yingchuan in April.
Coincidentally, the Yellow Turban led by Bocai arrived in Yingchuan two days ago, and when the soldiers reported that Huangfu Song had arrived in Yingchuan, he ordered the left and right to ambush around the two hillsides, waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's soldiers.
Bo Cai ordered two hillsides to send out soldiers and horses, and the number was several times that of the Han army, it was a great chaos with 20,000 Han troops, and finally although most of them escaped under the command of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they lost seven or eight thousand men and horses.
In desperation, the Han army could only lead the army to retreat to Changshe, while asking for help from the imperial court. However, Bocai led the army to follow, and the soldiers surrounded the long society.
Ten days later, the Han court learned of the defeat of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was shocked, and hurriedly gathered in the Manchu Dynasty to discuss with the civil and military, and finally determined that Cao Cao led an army of 10,000 to rescue Changshe.
When Cao Cao was still two days away from Changshe, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun saw that it had been a month and the imperial army had not yet arrived, so they gathered together to discuss how to fight the enemy.
"This wave of talent is a bit handsome, but this time the camp is quite orderly, with his back to the mountains and forests, blocking our sneak attack, but on one side is a bush, and a secret post is arranged in the grass, so that I can't wait for a frontal raid. And our army's food and grass could not last long. Zhu Jun said.
"That's true, I've been observing the city for several days in a row, but there's nothing I can do about it for the time being." Huangfu Song also shook his head helplessly and said.
"Forget it, I don't think about it, maybe the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive tomorrow, I'll wait and go to the city wall to inspect and see if there are any defensive loopholes." Zhu Jun listened to Huangfu Song's words, and then opened his mouth to suggest.
The two walked to the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban Thieves' camp tent outside the West City Gate stretching for dozens of miles, and the two frowned in unison. And the whirring wind on the city wall seems to tell the helplessness in the hearts of the two.
"Which direction is the wind blowing today?" Listening to the sound of the wind in his ears, Huangfu Song had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly asked.
"General Huangfu, the southeast wind has been blowing for half a day!" The soldier beside him hurriedly replied.
"What? Southeasterly wind? Huangfu Song was overjoyed, so he looked at Zhu Jun, and then said excitedly. Gongwei, I have a plan to break the enemy camp. ”
"Oh? Righteousness, thou shalt speak. Zhu Jun was overjoyed.
"Gongwei, what Fang Cairu said is not right, this wave of talents is quite talented, but not handsome, the camp arrangement is quite reasonable, but I don't know how to change." Huangfu Song began to speak.
"Tonight, the southeast wind, but the wind direction is blown by the Changshe City like the Yellow Turban Thief Army camp, and the Bocai grass camp, we can use fire to attack, then the thief camp will be disrupted, and then you and I will lead the army out of the city, and the two ways will be a big victory."
Zhu Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and after the two agreed on the details, they sent elite soldiers out of the city with torches, and did not fight with Bocai's Yellow Turban thief army, and lit a fire when they encountered grass.
The fire rose with the wind, and after a while, it burned to the camp of the Yellow Turban Thief Army, and the Yellow Turban camp was disrupted. Huangfu Song led the army out of the west gate, and Zhu Jun led the army out through the north gate, but he planned to attack the camp of the Bocai army from both sides of the Yellow Turban Army.
…………………
Yellow Turban Army Camp. When the camp was on fire, and the whole camp began to make noise, Bo Cai had already walked out of the camp tent in full clothes, and when he saw the raging fire outside, Bo Cai wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, and his face was extremely anxious.
The fire in the entire camp was far greater than the previous report of the soldiers, and in desperation, Bo Cai ordered the soldiers to send a message to all directions, first to create a fire barrier, and then to gather the 20,000 elites of the whole army together.
I don't know if it's the impact of Liu Hao's crossing, or if the introduction of history is too simple, Bo Cai actually led 20,000 elites in the 100,000 army this time, and there were 3,000 cavalry.
"General, the fire barrier has been set up, and the fire in the northwest has become much smaller, but the Han army is attacking from the east and west, and we really want to break through from the northwest." A youngster sniffed.
At this time, Bo Cai's heart was dripping blood, and the 100,000 army that was finally coerced, it would be great to have 30,000 or 40,000 left after this war, and the camp he was quite comfortable with before had really become a grave. If there is no hillside behind him, Bocai can leave the camp directly from the back to the north.
"Break through the Han army from the northwest, although there is no Han army in the front, but the fire is very big, not to mention I don't know if the Han army will leave an ambush in the front, and although there is a Han army in the west, there are only more than 10,000 people, with our strong army to break through, it must not be a big problem, not to mention that we have to go north to meet with the great sages and good teachers." Bocai thought about it and said helplessly.
After a while, in addition to the 20,000 elites gathered, 30,000 troops were gathered at the same time, and then under the name of Bocai, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army rushed to the northwest, but it was met by the army of Huangfu Song.
One desperately blocked, the other desperately fled, and the armies of the two sides fought to the death, but the combat power of the Yellow Turban equipment was indeed not good, and about 20,000 were killed by Huangfu Song, but the rest also broke through the encirclement of Huangfu Song and ran to the northwest.
…………………
And the Yellow Turban Army, which was still in the camp, was in chaos and ran around. At this time, Cao Cao led an army of 10,000 to come, just blocking the Yellow Turban Thief Army camp, surrounding the Yellow Turban Camp on three sides, and finally, the Yellow Turban Army left in the Yellow Turban Camp, except for those who were burned to death, the rest of them all wanted Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao to surrender.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun won this big victory, and at the same time captured 40,000 yellow turbans, looking at the yellow turban thieves kneeling outside the city, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao gathered together to discuss how to deal with these thieves.
"This great victory is really a great achievement, but what should be done with these Yellow Turban thieves who are captured now." Zhu Jun looked outside the city and said.
"Hmph, if you want me to say, you can kill them directly, these are all traitors, we don't have extra food and grass, and we don't have a place to hold them, if we don't kill them all, what if they are rebelling?" It was Cao Cao who spoke.
Cao Cao's face was reasonable, no matter what dynasty it was, rebellion was a capital crime, even if it was an ordinary soldier, he would still be executed, so Cao Cao proposed to kill them all, but of course it was natural.
"No, they are the people of the Han Dynasty, and when the thief army is pacified, they can be transformed into people on the spot. When the time comes, the Holy One will be working hard to govern the country, and these people will not rebel. Zhu Jun suggested.
"No, it has not been pacified at this time, and our army is not numerous, so we can't leave the soldiers to guard the prisoners, let's kill them all." Huangfu Song took over the conversation.
In just one morning, 40,000 Yellow Turban captives were beheaded, and all the heads turned into the merits of Huangfu and Song.
After the war, the three of them discussed, and they prepared to divide the army, and Zhu Jun led an army of 20,000 to continue westward, going to Zhaoling and Xihua, and pacifying the Yellow Turban in the west.
However, Huangfu Song and Cao Cao led an army of 20,000 but prepared to continue the march to the northwest, but they wanted to pursue the remnants of Bocai.
At this time, Bo Cai was afraid of Huang Fu Song's pursuit, so he led 30,000 troops all the way to Chen Liu, and because the grain and grass had been burned by Huang Fu Song before, Bo Cai had no choice but to burn and loot along the road, and wrapped up a lot of strong men, in just three days, it was restored to the level of 100,000 troops.
At the same time, Lu Zhi has already set up troops in Lujun, and fought several times with Zhang Jiao's army, and each has its own victory and defeat, and because Zhang Jiao is in Guangzong City, so all the Yellow Turbans have gathered in Guangzong City, Lu Zhi led the army to follow and pursue, and successfully surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.
